claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix [Bug] Cmd+Delete clears entire input instead of single line [1 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

The issue can be mitigated by using the esc + esc shortcut to clear the text input instead of cmd+delete.

Guidance

• Verify that the esc + esc shortcut is working as expected to clear the text input.
• Try to retrain muscle memory to use esc + esc for clearing the text input to avoid accidental deletion of entire messages.
• If the old behavior of deleting one line at a time is still desired, consider submitting a feature request to restore this functionality.
• Be cautious when using cmd+delete to avoid losing work, and consider typing in a separate editor or notes app if working on long messages.

Notes

The issue seems to be specific to the darwin platform and vscode terminal, and may not affect other environments.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: use esc + esc to clear the text input, as this is the currently supported method for clearing the text input without losing work.
